30 Qs Rs X 2 A - 05

The nature of an answer is such that it directly addresses the intrinsic value of what the question entails. When a purported answer does not, then it's a response - not an answer. The inability or unwillingness to answer a question however, is - by implication - an answer too.

30 Questions Religionists Fail To Answer

"On the fourth day there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night." (1:14)

But didn't God create light and separated it from darkness and name them day and night on the first day already? (1:3-5)

rejected and denied by many, accepted and embraced by few : incontrovertibility
- it is not what we (think we) know that matters, it is what we can show true that does
as the maxim demands; truth is demonstrably fact and fact is demonstrably true
everything else ... mere BS -

Oh the drama...

I don't think that about you, Tim. I don't think you're stupid. Just misinformed.

Your fucked

If "not being fucked" means having to live my life glorifying myths and legends and believing in childish, immature things like imaginary friends, then I'm quite happy to be "fucked".

Time will tell.

Yes it will. And when you reach the end of your life, and you realize that there's nothing after that, and that you've wasted your life believing in fairy tales and nonsense....

But then again, you won't even be aware of it. You'll simply cease to exist.

You may be right, and there could be an afterlife that entry into would require groveling before a cosmic, supernatural dictator. But I haven't seen any evidence of this, and I just gotta go by the evidence at hand.

Don't make it now, because you will not win.

Win what?

FUCKING PISS ME OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that, but that is not my intention. I'm simply telling it as I see it. Would you prefer I lie to you as you are lying to yourself?

A relevant quote

Sorry Tim, your imaginary friend is the master of no one, not even you. Your superstitious dogma is the only thing that is master over you.

And that is self-inflicted.

so who else do you know of that speaks things the Bible says?

I mean I showed it all comes from ancient SUMER and EGYPT yesterday, but the Bible says "in the last days' God speaks directly to us through his Son.......because now its more than just the WRITINGS about these things that were from the beginning

but these writings are made FLESH in our heart and mind:

that means religion is overcome by the reality of what is written:

if in fact people claim this to be so for them

a lot of Christians are still in the believing stage and the problem with believing only

is that you MIX your own ideas with the GOSPEL (what is written) and that makes for a HUGE MESS

as we see with all the battles between the religious with one another:

Re: it would be nice

Yvonne said: if you atheists didn't always QUOTE somebody else as being more relevant than a quote from Jesus

The people I quote ARE more relevant than Jesus. They actually exist.

I mean, what? they are your god? your master?

No, but that's a nice strawman argument.

It is not wrong to learn something from others who have had more experience in life's journey.

you can't think for yourselves ????

I'm an atheist because I thought for myself. Give it a try. You'll find it enlightening.

if you really don't believe in other gods

try coming up with all originol ideas and thoughts........ignore all but your own

I speak for myself on a daily basis.

Besides, what does not believing in imaginary gods have to do with me gleaning knowledge from other people?
